Highlight • Viewpoint

Keep your dogs on a leash! Electric fence because of the bison that graze there.

Rhine Cycle Path Flittard

Highlight • Cycleway

I would say that this is the quietest place on the Rhine in Cologne. Between the dam and the Rhine you can really enjoy the peace and quiet and sit by the Rhine. I love being here.

An interesting hub in Mülheim, heading north along the Rhine Cycle Path to Stammheim Flittard, south toward Rheinpark, west over the Mülheim Bridge and east to Wiener Platz and into the countryside. Historical buildings can also be discovered.

This moderately difficult tour leads from the shipping fountain on Wiener Platz, first to Haus Isenburg, then to the former Iddelsfelder Mill and Gut Iddelsfeld, to the Thielenbruch tram museum and depot, to Thurner Wald, Diepeschrather Mill and Dünnwalder Forest with Hornpottweg nature reserve. You pass the half-timbered ensemble "Im Kunstfeld" (the oldest workers' settlement in the Rhineland), the Basilica …

June 24, 2024,ADFC - In den waldreichen Nordosten - Start und Ziel Wiener Platz (final)

This tour is particularly suitable in summer when the sun is shining, because large parts of it lead through shady forest areas.
The route profile is mostly flat and car-free or with few cars. There is a short climb in the Dünnwald forest. Then some critical spots on the Hornpottweg, on the Diergartd lake and on the Kurtekottenweg. The moderately …

A "Bike4pictures" perspective of the round trip. And: I drove it in the "wrong" direction for the first time. Collected new impressions again.

Today we went on a trip to the other side - much nicer because it was more varied. This time we drove a lot through the forest, through various nature reserves and past a few lakes.

April 12, 2025,Durch Wälder und an Seen vorbei nach Bergisch Gladbach und Leverkusen

Today, there's no time for a long bike ride because two semifinals are coming up. So we took a lovely ride into the hinterland of Cologne – through forests, nature parks, and past lakes. If it hadn't been for the drive through Cologne, everything would have been perfect. But even so, we really enjoyed the ride.
